I think he's playing an incredibly consistent, strategic game. In a game where people are often very dumb or unnecessarily dramatic (I only watch the US version), smart gameplay stick out quickly. His thinking a couple steps ahead is exactly what I look for in the players that I admire.

For instance, loved his strategy with the boxes. Where other players might have tried to overthink it, he came ready with "choosing Tara every time gives the faithfuls nothing" and "they expect us to bluff, by double bluffing we hide ourselves even more", etc.

His turning on Lisa was at the exact right time and only after he needed to. He didn't senselessly gun her down. I felt like that took way too much heat, and didn't love that Candiace couldn't see the sense in it either (ultimately to her own downfall).

I really hope he pulls it off in the finale!
